Reapers, designed by Daniel Newman, is rooted in traditional trick-taking games such as Hearts or Spades , but has some key differences that set it apart:
Each hand is drawn from face-up 3-card piles, rather than dealt to the players.
Trick winners score the lowest-valued card in the trick, rather than the trick itself as a point.
There are four suits (stag, snake, boar, raven) and two different special cards, called "Reapers" and "Rituals."
Players make a bet on how they think they will perform in each hand, with options to score the fewest points, score the second most points, or make no prediction – all strategies that can be viable.
